BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

A Philippine maritime authority said it is mandatory for tankers carrying persistent oil as cargo to have insurance coverage.

Only vessels with "protection and indemnity" coverage would be allowed to participate in domestic trade, the official said, adding that ship safety inspections have improved.
